Supporting Carers into Learning, Volunteering & Work

We passionately believe carers and former carers should have opportunities and support to work, if you want to.

However as a carer or former carer, the thought of starting work for the first time or getting back to work may feel impossible, overwhelming or just too difficult.

The STRIVE Project Mentors offer tailored support to individuals experiencing a variety of difficulties obtaining employment due to their circumstances.

Support will be tailored to your circumstances with the aim of helping you progress into paid work or access learning and volunteering opportunities that act as a stepping stone towards paid work in the future.
